Is it possible to edit the main page? if so - how?
Are we talking about the English Wikipedia here, or a mirror of it
you've set up, or some other random wiki?
Either way, the answer is "Yes, of course it's possible" - although a
page (like the en.wikipedia Front_page) can be "protected" so that
only those users with sysop/admin rights can edit it; this is an
imperfect solution to the problem of high-visibility or
highly-contentious pages being particularly prone to vandalism.
I ask this, as the width of the page displayed is far
too big, and also, it
wants to include stuff from today on the page - but cant display it as it
doesnt exist;
[...]
* If you're talking about the en.wikipedia's front page, you need to
discuss this on it's talk page -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_page
* If you're talking about a different wiki, talk to the "powers that be"
there.
* If you're talking about your own wiki, do what you like with it -
just make sure you're logged into a sysop/admin account if the page is
protected.
